THE UTAH CASARD.
An Improbable Story About the Use of a
Wax Figure.


by telegraph
WASHINGTON, February 1st-The Nor
mons in this city who are watching the
progress of the Edmunds anti-polygamy
bill are quite excited over the dispatches
from Nebraska in the papers in regard to
Brigham Young's reported scheme of res
direction. Delegate Game, of course, de-
MES the story of the old man. But an
other story comes from Utah, which adds
to the remarkable story from Nebraska
and makes one look upon it with some
consideration. The gentleman says: As
every one knows, the death of Brigham
Young was most mysterious. The arrange
ments for the funeral were conducted with
the greatest privacy, and not until the
body was laid ont was any one allowed to
see il. The body in the coffin, shown only
to few, was an ingeniously- prepared wax
figure. a Frenchmsn was brought from
France some time before the reported death
of Young, and set 10 work to make life
like head and body of the Mormon prophet
as the figure was to represent him after
death. So remarkably well was the work
d )ne that the figure deceived many who
saw it when it came time for Young to die
and the bgure was prepared for burial.
The subsequent mysterious funeral arrange
ments together with the strange death can
be easily recalled.
The Frenchman who made the wax fig
ure was slipped back TO his native country
and the Mormons watched him well. Al
though this guard was kept up. the man
told his secret and it was published, but
the Mormons managed to keep it from
wide circulation. All heard it in Utah.
but the MormoIs have managed to decry
it. The reason for Young's disappearance
from the earth was for resurrection. The
Mormons thought the United States Gov
eminent would give them trouble, and ere
this they had made every arrangement for
an exodus to Mexico. The leaders COL
lected money and bought q vast tract of
land and paid for it in gold. They in
tended that old Brigham Young shonld
arise from the grave and order the faith
ful to depart to Mexico, but when the
land bought came TO be prepared it was
found that the Mexicans had cheated
them and sold them lot of mountains.
So great was the chagrin of the elders that
the exodus was postponed and Brigham
did not rise"

A Mttttonatre,s Passion fo,. Horse,

A Mftttonatre's Passion for Horses,
stanford's only passion is for fine
horses, and this taste he has gratifed on
his estate at Palo Alto in the heart of
Santa Clara valley. There he has a large
number of fine thoroughbred horses, and
when he goes down to this country
home it is his pleasure to sit in a large
chair In the centre of a ring and see his
1avorlte young flyers brought out for
trial.
1t was while watching one of these
last trotters-an animal which had the
enormous stride of tw~enty-three feet
that the millionaire conceived the idea
that in some part of his course the horse
must entirely clear the ground and have
all four feet in the air. So he decided
to have his horses photographed while
In motion. He secured the services of a
sklllful photographer named Muybridge,
and ne arranged an ingenious system of
cameras worked by electricity by which
an instantaneous view of the animal wasa
given as he passed the home line.
About forty thousand dollars were spent
on theses experiments; but they over
threw all previous notions on the sub
ject, and the work which Stanford had
written and published, entitled 1.-THE
Horse in Motion" is a valuable contri-
button to science. Senator Stanford
has also done more than anyone else to
improve the breed of horses in Cali
and to demonstrate that the eli
mate of that State is superior to Ken

Learning the Lords Prayer.

In the Middle Ages, when the grea
lords and knights were always at wa
with one another, one of them resolvet
to revenge himself on a neighbor VIII
had offended him. It CHANGED that, OF
the very evening when he made thi
resolution, he heard that his enemy was
to pass near his castle, in company with
only a few men. 1t was a good oppor
tunity to take his revenge, and he deter
mined not to let it pass. He. spoke O.
this plan in the presence of his chaplain,
who tried in vain to persuade him t.
give it up.
At length, seeing that all his words
had no effect, he said:
"My lord, since | cannot persuade you
to give up this plan of yours, will you
at least consent to come with me to the
chapel, that we may pray together be-
fore you go?'
The duke consented, and he and the
chaplain knelt together in prayar. Then
the mercy-loving Christian said to the
r%evengeful warrior:
"Will you repeat after me, sentence
by sentence, the prayer that our Lord
Jesus Christ Himself taught His disci-
ples?'
Il will do it." replied the duke.
The chaplain said a sentence, and the
duke repeated it, till he came to the Pc
tition, "Forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive them that trespass against u.s."
Then the duke was silent.
"My lord duke, you arc SILENT" said
the chaplain. "Will you continue to
repeat the words after me, if you dare
prayNhem? Forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive them that trespass against
u.s."
81 cannot" replied the duke.
"Well," said the chaplain, "you
must either give up your revenge or give
up saying this Nrayer, for to ask God to
pardon you as you pardon others, is to
ask Him to take vengeance on you for
all your sins. Go now, my lord, and
meet your victim. God will meet you
at the judgment day."
'No," said the duke, II will finish
my prayer. My God, Father, pardon
me-; forgive me as I desire to forgive
him who offended me; lead me not
into temptation, but deliver me from

Poisonous Wounds.

For the treatment of poisonous bites
or WSAnds made by insects, an eminent
physician and lecturer advises as follows
Apply hartshon, cologne water or vim
egar directly to the wound. A p~oultice
of ipecac has been recommended for4he
same purpose.
This is all the treatment that is needed
for bites of wasps and bees. Sometimes
a person may be stung by a great many
bees or wasps at once In such cases
fainting may be p.oduced, and the pa
tient will need internal stimulants, harris
horn, wine, brandy, or some liquor.
Poisonous wounds made by spiders,
centipedes and scorpions are treated in
the same way as those made by insects.
that is, by the direct application of
hartshorn to the wound, and when nee
essary, internal stimulants.
For snake bites, says another eminent
physician, various internal remedies NAV
be recommended, of which the best is
carbonate of ammonia in doses of ten
or twenty grains every half-hour. Eric
ton to the surface of the body with
pieces of flannel dipped in hot alcohol
Is also beneficial. These remedies can
not be applied too soon.
Sweet oil is also a good remedy. The
patient must take a spoonful of it intern
ally, and battle the wound for a cure. To
a horse, it requires eight times as
much as for a man.
DR.. Weir of Philadelphia, states that
the application of carboiic acid i'm
mediately on the receipt of the wound
prevents both local and general poison
Ing. The pure acid, however, if applied
IN too great a quantity, is liable to pro-
duce sloughing, and even dangerous
symptoms, hence it is best used in the
proportion Of two parts of acid and one
part of alcohol. Given internally, or ap-
Piled to the wound at a late period. it
produces no effect. 1t is believed to act
y causing contraction of the small yes-
'els, and thus preventing absorption of

In the despair born of desperation, I
forgot my brushes, forgot prudence, for
got everything excepting the dog that I
resolved to rout from the room, or die
